xfree86: compat: re-add GEInitEvent() for proprietary nvidia driver

Yet another very internal function that the proprietary Nvidia driver
is using for unknown reasons. NVidia really needs a separate function
for just for some trivial struct initialization and don't manage to
add three simple lines to their code, so we have to make an extra
function for them.
